Working on such a small scale is challenging, but a very intimate experience. I am so close to the canvas and concentrated on such a small space that it creates a very special connection with the piece. This tiny portrait, Sofia, is 2 inches by 2 inches. I used acrylic paints and very very thin brushes.

I painted the sides and edges gold, this gave the piece the feeling of those 18th century miniature portraits people used historically to introduce each other from a distance. I added my personal touch with a gossipy bird in the frame.

Those of you who have sisters know that you go through phases. Sometimes you are best friends with each other, sometimes you detest each other, sometimes you support, sometimes you ignore, but you always, always love each other. The Sisters is inspired on that dynamic. The relationship that only sisters understand.

About Me

I've been drawing ever since I can remember. My life has been quite an adventure that has always kept me inspired. My childhood home was always filled with magic and excitement. I have memories of mysterious seances in our living room. The supernatural and fantastical has always been with me and influenced my work. Having lived in Latin America as well as the U.S. has given me a unique perspective. I could always escape to magical make believe worlds with the stroke of my pencil. I strayed from art and studied law in Argentina for a few years only to realize that art was embedded deep in my heart. It took me a while to truly know that I had to follow my love for art. I am looking forward to exploring these wonderful places in my head and allowing the world to experience them through my art.
